Furthermore, KRC Blood Service prepared for the special event for the participants and their family members to promote blood donation. KRC Blood Service set the calligraphy section that had pieces of artwork with the messages of blood donation. A robot was also displayed with the monitor showing the information of blood donation. Students and their families also enjoyed watching musical performance and magic show. They had a chance to play the musical instruments such as the guitar and piano.

The blood donation artwork contest provided the opportunity for elementary school students to become blood donors in the future and family members to increase the awareness of the blood donation.
